Re: flower Budget

We just barely stayed under our flower budget but we have a larger wedding. The flowers all depend on high vs low centerpieces, how big your bridal party is, and how many people you are having. We have a large bridal party and a 200+ wedding, so we ideally budgeted 3000. I think when I add in the other thing I want to add in, we will be over that number but I am ok with it after seeing some of the other quotes that were double that.

Re: flower Budget

We budgeted for more because of the prices we were hearing out there, but PWP Flowers kept me in my budget and I absolutely LOVED my flowers.

Re: flower Budget

I wanted under $2000 but I am staying around $2400. But I have a bridal party of 10 girls and i have 14 centerpieces (half high and half low) so I think its more than fair!

Re: flower Budget

I'm under by about $800...but I am not that big into flowers so we are doing a simple centerpiece.

My flower budget was $1500 and I went over it by $88. Not bad at all IMO.

Re: flower Budget

based on a lot of girls' experiences and reviews on here, I think finding items (vases, glassware, etc) for your centerpieces on your own will cut costs rather than going through florists.

also, depending on your RH, the ceremony might include flowers so that lightens your budget. We're not using a florist - allergies, etc - but Fox Hollow does provide all the flowers and decor needed for the ceremony.

Re: flower Budget

started with a budget of 5000 for flowers, went over on some other vendors so brought it down to 3000 and walked out getting everything I wanted for 2000. I was a happy camper.
